A plethora of items...not all of which are listed here. In any given year, there are some 2000 alcohol overdoses in the USA. Mostly kids.But as far as deaths in particular?TOBACCO ........................ 400,000ALCOHOL ........................100,000ALL LEGAL DRUGS .............20,000ALL ILLEGAL DRUGS ..........15,000CAFFEINE .........................2,000ASPIRIN ...........................500Marijuana? ........................zero.No overdoses, no poisonings...Nada.1937, NYC Mayor LaGuardia had 31 impartial scientists do a study, and they found that marijuana does not lead to anti-social behavior, has no ill effects at all, in fact.1967, Dr. Leo Hollister, Assoc, Chief of Staff at Palo Alto VA Hosp. and staff performed a similar study and found that it does NOT lead to harder drugs (in fact, helps those on hard drugs kick their habit) and is harmless compared to other drugs (look at aspirin deaths).1972, President Nixon hired on a commission that performed the most comprehensive study on marihuana ever done in the USA, and found, again, that it had been demonized way beyond reality. It was safe, harmless, and made people laugh and get hungry.

If that isn't enough for you to reconsider, then here are the costs of USA enforcement1970-1977=$76 Billion.1980-1998 = $214.7 BillionFrom Reagan through Clinton the costs rose from $9-$12 Billion to $15 Billion annually.Further, the present costs range at around $40-$42 Billion dollars a year today to enforce and imprison people who just want to smoke the stuff.(http://www.drugpolicy.org/library/fac...)(http://www.alternet.org/drugs/64465/)That's around $120 MILLION a d DAY just to enforce a law that cannot be enforced, a law that the people don't want to pay for, and a law that is purely incorporated to single out Blacks and Hispanics, because Harry J. Anslinger said that "Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men."And, now, we're coming up on 100 years of laws against a plant.
